Description of the Related Art

Cigarette smoke is known to contain tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide asmajor components, and includes about 4,000 chemical substances, harmfulsubstances, and carcinogens.

Conventional techniques utilize filters and filter pipes. The functionof a filter used as a means to adsorb and remove harmful components incigarette smoke by adding an adsorbent is to reduce the intake of tarand nicotine into the human body. However, when the amount of nicotineand tar adsorbed to and accumulated in the filter due to combustion andinhalation of the cigarette reaches a saturation state (less than about5%), the generated nicotine and tar will be sucked into the human bodywithout resistance due to deterioration of the filter function.

Efforts to reduce the amount of harmful substances in cigarettesentering the human body are also continuing by, for example, designingmultiple holes in a tar filtration pipe, installing special passages ormixing special compounds in the pipe.

Globally, lung cancer has the highest single mortality rate, whichcontinues to rise every year. It is reported that about 10,000 peopledie of lung cancer each day, and the lung cancer mortality rate ofsmokers is 10-20 times higher than that of nonsmokers.

In normal respiration, lung volume is approximately 3.2 liters when anadult breathes in under normal conditions (inspiration), andapproximately 2.2 liters upon exhaling. Even if the adult inhales to themaximum and immediately exhales to the maximum, the remaining volumeafter exhaling is about 1 liter. Accordingly, the basic residual volumefor breathing plus the inspiratory volume is discharged and recovered.

A smoker breathes in to the maximum (inspiratory process) and thenbreathes out to the maximum (expiratory process) while smoking. In theinspiratory process, the smoker begins with the basic volume, whichincreases to the maximum value P. When the expiratory process ends, thesmoker recovers the basic volume. When the smoker smokes, the chest andabdomen expand the lungs more than twice the normal respiration volumethrough deep inhalation. In this way, during inspiration, the smokerinhales more deeply than in normal breathing. This leads to a longerexpiratory time, a longer inspiratory time, larger energy consumptionand a larger exercise amount than in normal vital breathing.

Humans cannot simultaneously carry out inhalation and exhalation due tohuman anatomy. Therefore, during a cycle in which a smoker carries outintake (sucking) and exhalation (blowing out breath) during smoking,smoke is emitted from the mouth of the smoker through the expiration(exhalation) after the harmful substance is already transferred to thelung. Thus, the emitted smoke includes a very small part of the harmfulcomponents filtered from the lung.

SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Advantages and features of the invention and methods of accomplishingthe same will be apparent by referring to embodiments described below indetail in connection with the accompanying drawings. However, theinvention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below and may beimplemented in various different forms. The embodiments are providedonly for completing the disclosure of the invention and for fullyrepresenting the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

For simplicity and clarity of illustration, the drawing figuresillustrate the general manner of construction, and descriptions anddetails of well-known features and techniques may be omitted to avoidunnecessarily obscuring the discussion of the described embodiments ofthe invention. Additionally, elements in the drawing figures are notnecessarily drawn to scale. According to at least one embodiment, thedimensions of some of the elements in the figures may be exaggeratedrelative to other elements to help improve understanding of embodimentsof the invention. Like reference numerals refer to like elementsthroughout the specification.

In order to achieve the above object, embodiments of the invention areconfigured as follows.

In order to induce change of the flow direction and speed of air(gaseous component+particulate component+liquid component+thermalenergy) flowing into the smoker during smoking, a direct suction passagethrough which the smoker sucks (inhales) smoke via a cigarette filter isblocked.

In addition, an indirect suction passage for bypassing is installed (abypass suction hole is provided in a side surface of the pipe) to reduceinflow of harmful substances that have already passed through thecigarette filter.

In the path of harmful substances of smoke caused to flow into the humanbody and move toward the lungs at a certain speed by suction force, theintake air is caused to flow along a circumference by suction force of acentral axis in a section between the mouth and the larynx such that theharmful substances flow straight at a certain speed in the suctiondirection.

According to at least one embodiment, an adsorption plate serving as asecond filter is installed in order to block flow of air toward acentral portion of a cylindrical cigarette by centripetal force of thecigarette. The adsorption plate is formed at a position opposite to theposition of the cigarette filter part while being held at apredetermined distance (corresponding to an indirect suction hole) fromthe cigarette filter part. The adsorption plate is formed to have acircumference which is not larger than the circumference of the filter.The adsorption plate obstructs entry of harmful substances that havealready passed through the cigarette filter. The pipe provided with theadsorption plate (shielding membrane) is connected to the filter part ofthe cigarette to induce adsorption of harmful substances in theadsorption plate and collision with the adsorption plate to generaterepulsive force to change the path of airflow, such that the harmfulsubstances are sent back into the mouth through one or more indirectsuction holes and discharged from the mouth through a process of blowingout (exhalation).

With the direction suction structure of a bypass tool with theadsorption plate (shielding membrane) for changing and distributing thepositions of the harmful substances in the air flow by the timedifference between inspiration and expiration, the amount of harmfulsubstances entering the lungs of a human during smoking may be reduced.

One or more bypass suction holes may be provided, and may have varioussizes and shapes. Multiple adsorption layers of adsorption fabric may beformed inside of the adsorption plate for blocking the air flow formedby the suction force generated during smoking. The adsorption fabricfunctions to primarily adsorb and collect harmful substances flowinginto the human body using filters, degreasing cotton, Korean paper, andthe like and to secondarily change the direction of motion of theharmful substances by forming an air blocking membrane having arepulsive force such that the harmful substances are separated intosmall granular bodies, mixed with air and discharged back into the mouththrough the suction holes.

The bypass tool (of a pipe type) provided with the adsorption plate(shielding membrane) serving as the second filter is manufactured usingnon-toxic materials such as paper and plastic.

Bypass tools (reduction pipes) used by smokers for indirect suction aredivided into an integrated type structure and a detachable typestructure depending on how they are connected to the cigarette filterpart.

In the integrated type structure, the filter part of each cigaretteextends so as to be directly connected to the indirect suction hole.This structure, which is manufactured in the production process of thecigarette, is disposable.

The detachable type structure (cigarette+pipe), which is separable fromthe cigarette, is used by directly combining the cigarette filter partwith the bypass tool (reduction pipe) when the smoker wants to smoke.After use of the structure is completed, the cigarette filter part canbe removed. This structure is divided into a disposable type andsemi-permanent (reusable) type.

Male and female thread parts detachably coupled with each other areprovided on the back of the bypass tool (reduction pipe) to allow thesmoker to check the condensate of high-concentration harmful substancesduring smoking and to replace the exhausted adsorption fabric with newadsorption fabric in the process of repeatedly smoking. Thereby, thebypass tool can be semi-permanently used by replacing old adsorptionfabric with new adsorption fabric. The bypass tool used for indirectsmoking by the smoker includes the detachable type and the integratedtype.

FIG. 1 is a representative diagram.

FIG. 1 illustrates a method of reducing the inflow of harmful substancesinto the human body through a basic smoking process of a cigarette towhich an embodiment of the invention is applied, and a bypass tool of aharmful substance reduction pipe.

According to at least one embodiment, there is provided a human body101, which includes a mouth 10, a larynx 20, a trachea 30, a bronchus40, a diaphragm 50 and lungs 60. The enlarged view of the configurationof a cigarette indicated in a dotted circle illustrates the processes ofa smoker putting the filter part 90 into the mouth 10, lighting aburning part 70 at the end of a tobacco part 80 of the cigarette andinhaling smoke. The basic path extends horizontally from the mouth 10 tothe larynx 20 and vertically from the larynx 20 to the lungs 60 andforms one passage from the mouth 10 to the lungs 60 through whichharmful substances are introduced. The harmful substances are generatedfrom the burning part 70 at the end of the tobacco part 80 (t1), movetowards the lungs 60, which generate the suction force, at a certainspeed and reach the lungs 60 (t2), thereby undergoing position change.

Reach point t2−generation point t1=distance (from the mouth 10 to thelungs 60)× momentum=the smoker's (suction force). The distance isproduced within the time difference in one cycle of inspiration(inhaling) and expiration (exhaling) when the smoker smokes. The changein the position of the hazardous substances from the generation point t1to the reach point t2 occurs upon inspiration (inhaling) of the smokerduring smoking. Re-emission of the harmful substances having entered thelungs 60 is limited to a very small extent.

When the smoker inhales cigarette smoke once by lighting a cigarette,about 50 ml of smoke enters his/her body through the mouth. At thistime, a mixture of harmful substance particulates and gaseous componentsare inhaled. In this case, about 90% of carbon monoxide and about 70% oftar in the mixture remain in the body.

Harmful substances produced during smoking are combined with initialorganic substances through pyrolysis, thermal synthesis, dehydration,etc., generating more kinds of complex chemical substances. Among theproduced harmful substances, tar, nicotine, and carcinogenic substances,which are generated in the early stage of smoking, are sucked into thehuman body through the filter part 90 via the tobacco part 80 of theunburned cigarette in the progress of smoking (10). In this directsuction method, the harmful substances move from the mouth 10 to thelungs 60 without resistance and are thus directly sucked into the humanbody. In all conventional suction methods, smoke is inhaled while thefilter part 90 of the cigarette is placed in the mouth 10. According tothe conventional direct suction methods, the inhaled air (gascomponents+particulate components+liquid components+thermal energy)flows straight toward the larynx 20 at a high speed, and thus harmfulsubstances can enter the lungs through the back of the filter or theholes on the back of the pipe. Accordingly, it difficult for the humanbody to control and protect the inflow of harmful substances due toanatomy.

Embodiments of the invention intend to implement a bypass (indirect)suction technique instead of a direct suction technique by blocking theholes in the back surface. To this end, embodiments of the inventionprovide a smoking and non-smoking aiding pipe 100 provided with ashielding adsorption plate part 102 in a straight path of inhaledharmful substances of a cigarette extending from the mouth 10 to thelarynx 20. The smoking and non-smoking aiding pipe 100 (hereinafterreferred to as “aid pipe”), which reduces harmful substances with abypass (indirect) suction technique in order to control and prevententry of the harmful substances into the body, is connected tocigarettes when in use.

According to at least one embodiment, the circular hatched area on therear surface of the aid pipe 100 represents a resistance element. Theshielding adsorption plate part 102 functions to prevent air frompassing therethrough. An adsorption layer is formed on the inner side ofthe rear end of the adsorption tube portion (inside) of the adsorptionplate part 102. Adsorption fabric 106 for adsorbing harmful substancesis adhered to the adsorption layer. A cigarette is inserted and coupledto the filter connector 104 provided at the front end of the absorptiontube portion. One or more bypass (indirect) suction holes 105 are formedin the middle of the adsorption tube portion.

According to at least one embodiment, the smokers 101 are moved to themoving path of the human body inflow process of the harmful substancewhich permeates the lungs by the suction force at the time of smoking ata predetermined distance from the tobacco filter part 90. The aidingpipe 100 provided with the adsorption plate part 102 which interfereswith entry of harmful substances is connected to the tobacco filterportion 90. The adsorption plate part 102 for preventing entry ofharmful substances is installed at a position opposite to the tobaccofilter portion 90 and spaced a predetermined distance from the tobaccofilter part 90 in the inflow path of the harmful substances of smoke,which permeates at a certain speed toward the lungs by the suction forcewhen the smoker 101 smokes, and the aid pipe 100 provided with theadsorption plate part 102 is connected to the cigarette filter part 90.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram illustrating distribution of force Fin the process of smoking a cigarette.

When the process of air flow in smoking is subdivided, a differenceoccurs depending on the suction force 107 of the smoker 101. That is,when the direct suction portion of the filter part 90 is divided intoconcentric areas of different forces acting on the direct suctionportion, include a center point area P1 93, a middle area P2 92 and acircumferential area P3 91. The strongest airflow transfer effect occursin the central point area P1 93.

According to at least one embodiment, the suction force P produced whenthe smoker smokes extends from the mouth 10 to the tobacco part 80 viathe filter part 90 and acts on the front portion of the burning part 70as a suction force 107. The pressure at points Pa and Pb 94 on thecigarette paper surrounding the tobacco part 80 acts on the centralportion along the circumference so that the sucked air flows forward ata certain speed along the central axis.

According to at least one embodiment, the suction force 107 depends onvarious breathing conditions such as the volume and pressure of thelungs, the thoracic pressure, and the alveolar pressure according to thebody weight and body size of the smoker 101. However, since the shape ofthe cigarette is circular, and the mouth 10 of the smoker 101 has around shape, the force P applied to the tobacco part 80 acts as thecentripetal force 95 of the force (of areas P1 and P2) toward thecenter, forming a straight flow with faster speed and more energy thanarea P3 91. The harmful substances 96 generated from the burning part 70of the cigarette move through the mouth 10, the larynx 20, the trachea30 and the bronchus 40 via the tobacco part 80 and the filter part 90according to the attraction force 107 and enter the lungs 60.

During smoking by the suction force 107, the centripetal action of theforce (P1+P2) applied to the cigarette 80 and directed toward the centercauses airflow to be directed to the central axis along thecircumference. The viscosity of the inhaled gas, the heat energy andchemicals generated at the time of burning (800-900° C.) of a cigarette,the liquidization of the tobacco part 80 and the humidity of thecigarette paper are mixed with the mucous materials of tar and nicotineand aerosolized, and harmful substances condense. That is, the harmfulsubstances 96 (gas component+particulate component+liquidcomponent+thermal energy) are aggregated.

In the cross-sectional view of the filter part 90, difference in force Pacting on the center area P1 93, the intermediate area P2 92 and thecircumferential area P3 91 produced by the suction force and the suctionforce of the aiding pipe 100 having four suction holes direct the force95 of the center portion straightforward. Thereby, the harmfulsubstances 96 entering through the mouth 10 move straightly toward thelarynx 20 in a horizontal direction. This movement is derived from thelungs, which is the main source of suction.

FIG. 3 is a comparison diagram illustrating movement of harmfulsubstances according to smoking methods.

According to at least one embodiment, the distribution of harmfulsubstances through exchange of intake and exhalation momentum (forceexerted on the cigarette) during smoking may be divided into upper andlower sections. In the figure, the conventional suction type in theprojection and the suction type using the smoking and non-smoking aidingpipe of an embodiment of the invention shown in the lower section arecompared and analyzed. Also the figure shows the air flow duringinhalation and the air flow during exhalation in detail.

When a smoker lights a cigarette and an inhales cigarette smoke once, 50ml of smoke usually enters the body through the mouth. At this time, 8mg of particulate components and 32 mg of gas components are mixed andinhaled. The human airway has evolved for breathing and not for smoking.Accordingly, airway resistance against inflow of harmful substancesgenerated in smoking is very weak. Smoking uses the airway intended forbreathing.

Regarding change in the human body during one cycle in which the smokerinhales (sucks) and exhales (blows out), when the smoker inhales (sucksthe air) to the maximum, the volume of the smoker increases from thebasic level to the maximum level. When the smoker smokes, the smokerdeeply inhales air twice as much as the volume of normal breathing asthe thorax and the stomach expand the lungs. Then, the smoker exhales(breathes out) to the maximum degree to restoring the original volume.

In the conventional suction type shown in the upper section, the harmfulsubstances 96 move toward the lungs 60 at a certain speed through theairway, which is formed by the mouth 10, the larynx 20, the trachea 30,the bronchus 40, the diaphragm 50, without resistance. The pressuredifference between the alveoli and the air needs to be large enough tosufficiently drive the amount of air entering the lungs 60 duringinhalation, so that suction is performed.

Humans cannot simultaneously carry out inhalation and exhalation due tohuman anatomy. Therefore, during a short period in which a smokercarries out inhalation (sucking) and exhalation (blowing out breath)during smoking, smoke is emitted from the mouth of the smoker throughthe expiration (exhalation) after the harmful substances 96 are alreadytransferred to the lungs 60. Thus, the emitted smoke includes a verysmall part of the harmful components filtered from the lung.

When the smoker inhales cigarette smoke once by lighting a cigarette,about 50 ml of smoke enters his/her body through the mouth. At thistime, a mixture of harmful substance particulates and gaseous componentsare inhaled. In this case, about 90% of carbon monoxide, about 70% oftar, and 60% of small particulates in the mixture enter the lungs andremain in the body.

As the smoker 101 sets fire 70 on a cigarette and starts smoking, theair (gas components+particulate components+liquid components+thermalenergy) containing the harmful substance 96 is sucked from the positiont1, and is driven to flow toward the larynx 20 at a constant speed bythe suction force F of the smoker 101 along the flow line leading to theposition t2 of the lungs 60 in one direction until the end ofinhalation. In this process, the harmful substances 96 are combined intoa small mass 97, introduced into the body through the swallowing effect,and is then accumulated in the lungs 60. The air discharged from thebody according to blowing out breath (exhalation) contains only afraction of the harmful substances 96 accumulated in the lungs 60.

According to the suction type using the aiding pipe 100 to which anembodiment of the invention is applied as shown in the lower section ofthe figure, while the harmful substances 96 move toward the position ofthe lungs 60 at certain speed through the mouth 10, the larynx 20, thetrachea 30, the bronchus 40, and the diaphragm 50, which form theairway, the centripetal force 95 acts on the force (P1+P2) passingthrough the center to change the flow direction of the harmful substance96 going straight along the central point area P1, thereby implementingpositional change. According to this approach, the aiding pipe 100provided with an adsorption plate part 102, which is a shielding filmfor preventing entry of the harmful substances 96 into an area with ancircumference less than or equal to the circumference of the filter partand is positioned opposite to the cigarette filter part 70 in the pathof movement of the harmful substances 96 into the body 101 while keepinga certain distance from the filter part 70, is connected to thecigarette filter part 70. Thereby, the pipe cause the mass 97 of theharmful substances 96 moving at a certain speed to collide with theplate part to be decomposed into small particles 98 such that theharmful substances 96 are adsorbed and separated by the adsorptionfabric 106 and dispersed through the bypass suction hole 105 by beingrepelled by the adsorption plate 102, then discharged from the bodythrough the process of blowing out breath (exhalation).

In the process of blowing out (exhalation) of the harmful substances 96shown in the upper section, compared to the process of blowing out(exhalation) of the harmful substances 96 using the aiding pipe 100 towhich an embodiment of the invention is applied as shown in the lowersection, most of the harmful substances 96 that have already beeninhaled accumulate in the lungs 60 and cannot be returned, and thus theamount of discharged harmful substances is small. In the process ofblowing out (exhalation) the harmful substances 96 using the aiding pipe100 according to which an embodiment of the invention shown in the lowersection obstructs normal entry of the harmful substances 96 through theadsorption plate part 102 which interferes with and resists against theinflow path of the harmful substances 96 shown in the upper section, andcauses the harmful substances 96 to be adsorbed by the function of theadsorption fabric and discharged through the bypass suction hole by therepulsive force of the adsorption plate part. If the discharged harmfulsubstances ever enter the larynx 20 in the throat again, they aredischarged out of the mouth 10 immediately at the time of exhalation(deep breathing out). The amount of the harmful substances 96 dischargedaccording to the indirect suction type using the aiding pipe 100 towhich the invention is applied shown in the lower section is larger thanthe amount of harmful substances 96 discharged according to theconventional suction type. As a result, the inflow of the harmfulsubstances 96 into the human body 101 is reduced.

As used herein, the terms “left,” “right,” “front,” “back,” “top,”“bottom,” “over,” “under,” and the like in the description and in theclaims, if any, are used for descriptive purposes and not necessarilyfor describing permanent relative positions. It is to be understood thatthe terms so used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstancessuch that the embodiments of the invention described herein are, forexample, capable of operation in other orientations than thoseillustrated or otherwise described herein. The term “coupled,” as usedherein, is defined as directly or indirectly connected in an electricalor non-electrical manner. Objects described herein as being “adjacentto” each other may be in physical contact with each other, in closeproximity to each other, or in the same general region or area as eachother, as appropriate for the context in which the phrase is used.Occurrences of the phrase “according to an embodiment” herein do notnecessarily all refer to the same embodiment.

Although the invention has been described in detail, it should beunderstood that various changes, substitutions, and alterations can bemade hereupon without departing from the principle and scope of theinvention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determinedby the following claims and their appropriate legal equivalents.

1. A non-smoking aiding pipe, comprising: an adsorption tube portion comprising an accommodation space therein and an adsorption plate part for closing a rear end of the adsorption tube portion, wherein a filter connector allowing a cigarette filter part to be inserted thereinto is formed at front end side of the absorption tube portion, and a plurality of bypass suction holes communicating with the outside is formed in a side surface of a middle portion of the adsorption tube portion, wherein adsorption fabric is installed in the accommodation space such that a rear surface of adsorption fabric contact an inner surface of the adsorption plate part, and a front surface of the adsorption fabric is positioned to a portion entered by a certain distance from the bypass suction holes, and to a rear end, and wherein cigarette smoke introduced into the accommodation space through the cigarette filter part hits the adsorption fabric and changes a movement path so as to be suctioned into a mouth through the bypass suction holes on the side surface of the adsorption tube portion.
 2. The non-smoking pipe according to claim 1, wherein the adsorption tube portion and the adsorption plate part are screw-coupled with each other such that the adsorption fabric is retrieved backward and replaced with new adsorption fabric.
 3. A non-smoking aiding cigarette, comprising: a cigarette filter integrated with the non-smoking aiding pipe of claim 1, the cigarette filter comprising an adsorption plate part formed at a rear end of the cigarette filter, a bypass suction hole formed in a side surface of the cigarette filter, and adsorption fabric formed between the adsorption plate part and the bypass suction hole, wherein suctioned cigarette smoke hits the adsorption fabric at the rear end of the cigarette filter and is then suctioned into a mouth through the bypass suction hole on the side surface.
